So he’s having all really.
Red hot rash, watery swollen eyes, itchy red skin, blocked swollen inside nose, (no mucus), slight cough, raspy breathing like ssssh ssssh sound. And sometimes 80-90 breaths per minute.
The problem is I think it’s hayfever but I also think he has other allergies. He seems to react to a lot of things.
He looked like he had a reaction after his vaccines and was in hospital for seven days. All tests came back negative for infection, virus, etc etc
He has a referral to hospital, but I want to be armed with the correct information.
What testing can they do for multiple allergies?
I’m thinking it’s pollen, latex and most skin care products.

Brief Answer:
Scratch test may be effective.
Detailed Answer:
Hi,
A blood test called “serum IgE “ can be done as a preliminary investigation. If the IgE is elevated it indicates that the body is over reacting to allergens.
Skin prick or scratch test can be done to identify allergic response to I multiple substances like pollen.
